Facade and arcade: inscription by order of 14 June 1928

Origin and history

The house at 14 rue Chaudrier in La Rochelle is an example of civil architecture in the second half of the 18th century. It is characterized by a facade decorated with arcade porches and Louis XVI-style baluster windows, emblematic elements of the architectural refinement of this period. These stylistic details reflect the influence of popular artistic currents during the reign of Louis XVI, marked by a return to sobriety and classical elegance after the exuberance of the rococo style.

Classified as a Historical Monument, this house was partially protected by decree of 14 June 1928, specifically covering its facade and arcades. This inscription bears witness to the heritage value recognized to these architectural elements, representative of the urban heritage of La Rochelle. The location of the house, in the historic centre of the city, reinforces its interest, incorporating an urban fabric rich in 17th and 18th century buildings.

Available information indicates that the accuracy of its location is considered passable (note 5/10), suggesting a possible approximation in GPS coordinates or cadastral references. Despite this, the official address registered in the Mérimée database (14 rue Chaudrier) and the Insee data confirm its anchoring in the department of Charente-Maritime, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. No information is provided on its accessibility to the public, its current vocation (housing, commerce, etc.), or any services offered on site.
